						<br />
					    <p class="parrafos">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MSU Formula Racing Team represents Michigan State University’s entry into the Formula SAE collegiate design series, a competition sanctioned by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Formula SAE promotes innovation and education by challenging students to fund, design, manufacture and race small, open-wheel racecars. Teams are judged over a course of seven different events, covering vehicle marketing, design, manufacturing, cost and several areas of dynamic performance. Since it’s inception in 1981, this series has experienced tremendous participant growth, earning the title of the largest engineering competition in the world and currently hosting nine events in seven countries annually. To date, there are over three hundred teams around the globe.<br />
					    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Every Spring, 140 schools from all over the globe, representing five of seven continents, converge at the Michigan International Speedway to duke it out for the title of Formula SAE World Champion. Five days after arriving, one school heads home with the glory of beating the best of the best in collegiate automotive engineering.<br />
					    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The demand from schools to compete in the Formula SAE series has grown so much that the Society of Automotive Engineers has created a second U.S.-based competition, known as FSAE West, help annually at the Auto Club Speedway, located in Fontana, CA. The U.S. based competitions are just two of seven Formula SAE competitions around the world each year.<br />
					    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The objective of the collegiate series is to provide an avenue for aspiring automotive-enthused individuals to compete against the best of the best from other schools around the world. This is accomplished by posing the open-ended problem statement: “how do you build an inexpensive open-wheeled racecar for the use of the average weekend auto-crosser?” Each team is evaluated on this in seven different event categories, four dynamic and three static, emphasizing the importance of the entire engineering process.<br />
				        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently, there are approximately 250 Formula SAE teams globally, making this truly a huge international motorsport competition. More information can be found through the Society of Automotive Engineers at: http://students.sae.org/competitions/formulaseriess</p>
